mren - rename an existing MSDOS file
Note of warning
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
end of this man page for details.
Description
The mren command is used to rename or move an existing MS-DOS file or subdirectory. Its syntax is:
mren [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile targetfile
Mren renames an existing file on an MS-DOS file system.
In verbose mode, Mren displays the new filename if the name supplied is invalid.
If the first syntax is used (only one source file), and if the target name doesn't contain any slashes or colons, the file (or subdirec-
tory) is renamed in the same directory, instead of being moved to the current mcd directory as would be the case with mmove. Unlike the MS-
DOS version of REN, mren can be used to rename directories.

Viewing the texi doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
sentation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you
to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
* To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:
./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
* To generate a html copy, run:
./configure; make html
A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'
* To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
./configure; make info
The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
